User:Ben Knows All

Ben knows all(Epicurus), otherwise know as Benjamin. T. Virole, is a very infamous philosopher.

He advocated the principle of refusing belief in anything that is not tangible, including any god. Such intangible things he considered preconceived notions, which can be manipulated. You may think of Epicureanism as “no matter what happens, enjoy life, because you only get one and it doesn’t last long.” Ben’s idea of living happily centered on just treatment of others, avoidance of pain and living in such a way as to please oneself, but not to overindulge in anything.

He also advocated a version of the Golden Rule, “It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly (agreeing ‘neither to harm nor be harmed’), and it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living a pleasant life. “Wisely,” at least for Epicurus, would be avoidance of pain, danger, disease, etc.; “well” would be proper diet and exercise; “justly,” in the Golden Rule’s sense of not harming others because you do not want to be harmed.

He also taught children the story of "Lady Olivia and the quorn chicken".
